Cold and flu season will soon be upon us, and many are wondering if now is the time to get a flu shot. Most health care workers insist that there is only a tiny risk involved in getting inoculated, but the seemingly small number of adverse reactions to the shot can be devastating to some.
The U.S. Center for Disease Control does not have an accurate estimate of flu related deaths in the U.S. each year, and estimates run between 3,000 and 60,000, suggesting that flu shots are tremendously important. But not everyone agrees with that recommendation.

I believe it. I have had nothing but bad reactions. Never again!
G.b.s. happened to a nephew of mine
Never have never will.
This is part of the reasons why people are scared to get one
My prayer be with your daughter.
“Claims”
Is a 4th grade girl developing a sudden onset of paralysis terrible: yes. Was it caused by a flu vaccine: no. Vaccination has been around for over 100 years, it’s nothing new, and it’s vitally important for sustaining a population’s health, or what’s known as ‘heard immunity’ (I could go into a lengthy discussion as to the benefits of vaccinations and heard immunity, but I won’t, you have google and a brain, use it). From a patho-physiological standpoint, claims that a particular vaccination precipitated a serious of cataclysmic symptoms are ridiculous. Do a little research into how vaccines work and it’s self apparent that vaccinations aren’t capable of causing paraplegia. And no, it’s not an allergic reaction, that’s not how our bodies’ response to histamines work. More than likely, the poor girl has an underlying injury or condition, with no causation linked to receiving a vaccine. It’s terrible, and people like to find a quick scapegoat to latch onto to blame, but these perceptions are based on emotion and a lack of scientific understanding. Also, the people who believe this kind of pseudo science garbage are the same kind who believe vaccines cause Autism, which they don’t. You were all given a mind, it’s time you started using it.
